Hey Serp I am interested in your coin design. I sent you a PM.
I received my 10 conis today! They are really nice. I little lighter in weight than I expected but very bright and shiny with a shimmering hologram sticker on the back. I can't wait to hand these out to friends. Thanks Serp!

I would like to know if these are dependent upon a website outside of the BTC network. If so, that would mean the site needs to be maintained online for these coins to work. So they may not work 2 or 5 years from now.
They are not dependent on any website. The QR code is a private key of a bitcoin address in WIF. You can scan it in with a phone wallet app that supports it (the blockchain.info app for example) for easy import. If you don't have one of those apps you can always scan in the QR code with any qr scanner and then copy/paste the text into any bitcoin wallet.

Can I please buy some with paypal?

I'm really sorry btceic. Not this time.
i would also like some shipped to eu if you have any left.
Send me a PM with specific location so I can make sure but it looks like it will cost me 0.145 + the cost of the coins (0.025/each) to send to that area. I can send 10 or less coins this way I know but I could probably fit more coins in with this method.
I technically have 16 coins left still but I'm waiting to hear back from a few people. I'm going to keep coin #1 for myself and if any others aren't sold by tonight I'll keep them to hand out locally.
Shipping within the US is < 0.05 in all cases I've priced out so far so less than the flat rate envelopes. I'm using padded envelopes and each coin is in soft plastic.

Very nice. I am also working on a scratch-off version, but I think yours is better.
I suggest that you don't bother with a scratch-off sticker for the 0.01 BTC coins and reserve the scratch-off stickers for the 0.05 BTC or 0.1 BTC coins.

Yeah, I will possibly go to higher denominations in future versions. With the effort and the loss from trial and error this first run is costing money for sure. I put the scratch off on these because I really don't like the idea of just having the private code visible even on 0.01 BTC versions. Once it's visible it's the same as redeemed to me. But you are right, it hardly seems worth all the effort and cost.
I have been working on the link idea.
trying to put together a guide that explains:
1:bitcoin
2:checking balance
3:reedeming
4:spending
If you can help write the guide I could include your coins in the guide.

Yeah, I picked up a few domains with that thought in mind as well. I've just been so hesitant to flesh it out and put a URL on the coins though. It's nice when the coins don't rely on any one website for anything. I keep going back and forth on the idea but so far have settled with leaving a URL off. A guide is a great idea and would be good for linking new users to it somehow but I imagine it would often be the case that some coins outlast the website. As for including the coins in the guide, you should definitely put Casascius coins in there as he's the original and the basis for these coins too.
Great work on the site. I would suggest you get into firstbits for the Checking Balance of coins since most the coins use that instead of a QR code.
i would also like some shipped to eu if you have any left.
Very cool! I love the holo and the scratch off. The engraved parts look very nice too!
I'm afraid I have to leave for a few hours. I'm caught up on IRC but I have a couple more to answer on here. I promise I will answer everything tomorrow. There are currently about 16 coins left. Cyrus I'll get you a quote.
I'm interested as well. Would you be able to ship to Europe?
Also, I'm really interested in ideas/suggestions for the next set. I'd like to fit a link on there somehow which could teach someone more about bitcoins but not sure about it fitting. I have some square hologram scratch offs on the way which would give a bit more room on the coin (and allow more room for error). Any questions/thoughts?

I would like 10 of the coins loaded with .01 BTC if still available.
